Christian book review: Gemworld by Jeremy Bullard

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 21, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 21, 2014

This is the first book of The Facets of Reality series, and I loved it! It is an exceptionally inventive piece of speculative fiction—probably in the fantasy genre. But, it’s so much more. The characters are compelling. The action is … Continue reading →

Christian book review: The Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 18, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2014

I read one of my well-loved favorites from my hippie days, to cleanse the palette, as it were. The memories were far better than the reality. I first read this book in 1967 or ’68. It was a major influence … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Chasing Redemption by Bruce Fottler

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 17, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2014

An excellent military thriller set in space, i.e. a Christian science fiction read. I wouldn’t call it excellent Christian fiction I see it as very good science fiction with some Christian characters. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that, and I … Continue reading →

Christian book review: Ransom on the Rock and the Gateway to Gannah series

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 17, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2014

I’m only showing the cover from book #3, because I {and Yvonne agrees} do not consider the covers of the first two books to be professional. They were done outside of her control by the publisher. Great Christian science fiction … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: Words in the Wind by Yvonne Anderson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 13, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 17, 2014

After the first book, where I was stunned by the concept and enthralled by the spiritual content, this book is back to reality. It reads more like a dystopian survivalist story. But it is still very good work, and develops … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: The Story in the Stars by Yvonne Anderson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 11, 2014 by David BergslandNovember 3, 2014

In my opinion, this is probably the best Christian science fiction I have ever read. Is it the most compelling science fiction in general? No. Is it the best written? Certainly, many would say no. So, why do I think … Continue reading →

Christian Book Review: Dragon’s Touch by A. R. Johnson

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 11, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 17, 2014

This is a first novel, by a young writer. It is really much better than I hoped for (and I was expecting quite a bit as I know her father). I really enjoyed this classic fantasy tale. The characters are … Continue reading →

Christian Book review: The Proverbial War, Water Wars Book 2 by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 4, 2014 by David BergslandAugust 17, 2014

Yet another marvelous book by the Christian Clive Cussler Every time I get a new book from Guy, I’m excited but a little tense. “Can he keep up the story quality?” The answer, so far, has always been: Yes! This … Continue reading →

Christian book Review: Fallen King, The Cirian War Saga Book 1, by Eric Lorenzen

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 24, 2014 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

For swords and sorcery fans, this book is exciting. This is nearly epic fantasy. But it’s very dark, and all about the battles. It’s a spiritual battle between demons and the people they possess against humans and the followers of … Continue reading →
